abstract: 'A growing body of research studies youth not actively involved in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
education, employment, or training (NEET). Some recent estimates of NEET
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
place Canadian youth at slightly below the OECD average. At the same
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
time, however, researchers have identified a number of regional barriers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that present unique challenges to labour market participation for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Canadians residing in northern and rural areas. In this article, we
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
investigate the extent to which regional differences contribute to the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labour market inactivity of Canadian youth. Using multiple waves of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Statistics Canada''s Youth in Transition Survey (YITS-A), we find that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
indeed NEET rates differ for youth who reside in northern and southern
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Canada. Northern, rural youth show significantly higher probabilities of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
being NEET between ages 20 and 22. Moreover, these regional differences
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in NEET status continue to have a strong and independent effect, even
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
when accounting for socio-demographic characteristics, parental
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
socio-economic factors, educational experiences, and family structure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These inequalities in early workforce outcomes have important
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
implications for policy-makers, as they seek new ways of bolstering the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
school to work transitions of northern and rural youth.'
